Every one of the dozens of fresh ideas in this text is designed to be implemented in a flash with great results. Colour photographs exhibit novel notions for displaying containers and textiles; adorning the walls and windows; bringing Mother Nature into the home; setting up warm and wonderful lighting effects; and adding a host of other minor details. Fill an urn with feathers, not flowers; use colourful sachet bags (in a fluted bowl) as decorative elements; drape vintage scarves over furniture and layer doilies of various sizes over a table top; tie back curtains with tassels; and sponge metallic paint on to a wall trim.
I loved this book. I am so happy to have added it to my library! It's true that some of these ideas may take longer than 10 minutes, but they are simple, easy, and quick. The use of fabric, texture, & items you would not normally consider, like the teapots as window treatment, a large vase of feathers, beaded throws, are just truly inspiring. Susan Ure makes you look at your abode in a totally different way and use things you have or things that you would like to have in fun, imaginative, and beautiful ways. I can't wait to get started on the projects she's motivated me to do!
